You should have seen Spike smirk when he said he couldn't come up with a nickname

I put ponies on the same level as anime, if you like it that's fine. But do not rub it in my face. lol

I don't like anime, so I understand what you're saying.

We are behaving. So far we have kept the ponies to this thread.

So far.

Haha, it is okay. I have a very close friend who is brony, posting on this thread actually. I have to deal with being seen in public with cupcake and ponies on shirts. I find you guys amusing, not threatening. But not amusing in a rude way, more like "those guys are secure" way.

Just watched it! Missed the live showing (Renaissance Festival lol). I was very impressed, it looked spectacular, especially the crystal ponies. The only problem I had was, they really did not show the villain enough.

I've seen a lot of people saying that online. I personally think he was more of a plot device than a traditional villain. The story seemed to be more about developing Twilight's character than an adventure to defeat a villain. In that way he was more like Nightmare Moon than Discord or Chrysalis, I think. If they had more than 42 minutes he could have been developed, but as it stands I think Twi's development was more important than his. (Though I could appreciate some basic explanation of motivation at least.)

That said, Lord of the Rings managed 3 epic movies/books with a villain that's a giant holographic eyeball.

I watched it again, and it was a lot better the second time. A few things I noticed:

- Applejack is best pony, and I'm happy that she was much more than a background pony in this one.

- I liked the Twilight-Spike relationship. Such a cute brother-sister sort of pair, they.
